Goalie Start
Allen will start Monday vs. the Bruins.

Allen has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since January 12th but is expected to start Thursday vs. the Stars. Prior to getting hurt, Allen had gone 5-16-2 with a 3.15 GAA and .901 SV% in 24 starts. Cayden Primeau was sent to Laval (AHL) to make room for Allen.
With Allen out for two months and Carey Price still not with the team, the Canadiens will move forward with a goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau. Don't expect to see Allen until late March.
The Canadiens' COVID-19 list grew to nine players, one day ahead of Tuesday's game in Tampa. With Allen out, look for Samuel Montembeault or Cayden Primeau to start.
